Saudi king's travel luggage includes cars and elevators

The king of Saudi Arabia is reportedly shipping an enormous amount of cargo for his forthcoming visit to Indonesia from March 1 to 9.

According to the Jakarta Post, PT Jasa Angkasa Semesta (JAS), the freight company in charge, says it is handling 506 U.S. tons of cargo for King Salman bin Abdulaziz al-Saud and his staff. Among the hefty items are a pair of Mercedes-Benz limos and two elevators.

In addition to 620 people in the king's entourage, 800 other representatives are expected to descend on the country at varying times.

Sputnik News reports, "The Saudis are expected to sign a deal with Jakarta officials to invest in oil refinery initiatives within Indonesia."

The news outlet also says that "the deal could be worth up to $25 billion."

It has been 46 years since a Saudi king last visited Indonesia, notes the Washington Post.
